Is Philadelphia Still A Seller’s Market In 2025? A Citywide Look For Homeowners (Featuring The Shaina McAndrews Team)
Many homeowners across Philadelphia are asking the same question: “Did I miss the peak, or is it still a good time to sell?” The 2025 data paints a clear picture: while the frenzy has cooled, tight inventory, rising prices, and strong buyer demand keep Philadelphia leaning in favor of sellers—especially those who work with an expert listing team.
Citywide prices, inventory, and demand in 2025
As of late 2025, the median listing home price in Philadelphia is around 280,000 dollars, up roughly 1.8% year over year on one major portal, with a median sold price around 260,000 dollars. Another analysis shows the citywide median sale price around 280,000 dollars in October, up 7.7% compared with the prior year, confirming that values are still moving in the right direction for sellers.
Forecasts for 2025 and into 2026 call for moderate price appreciation of about 2.5–4.5%, supported by ongoing supply constraints, a solid job market, and continued population and household formation in the metro. State and regional data show more homes on the market than a year ago and higher median sales prices, pointing to a steady, resilient environment rather than a sharp slowdown.
Why conditions still favor well‑prepared sellers
Inventory remains tighter than pre‑pandemic levels, particularly in the 250,000– 500,000‑dollar price band where many buyers are searching, which keeps competition elevated for well‑located, move‑in‑ready homes. At the same time, days on market have inched up from their lowest points, and more listings are seeing price reductions, which reflects buyers being more price‑sensitive and discerning.
National rankings place Philadelphia among the top‑performing housing markets for 2025, thanks to its relative affordability compared with coastal peers, strong job growth, and still‑tight inventory. For sellers, that means there is still a real opportunity to achieve strong prices, but success depends on pricing, condition, and marketing more than pure momentum.
